Default Re: Roof Deuce Restoration

Keeping with the day-two theme, a couple guys asked about how I mounted the Mallory coil. I didn't want to drill any holes in the firewall so I used some existing holes for the wire gutter to attach this coil (and resistor).

<span style="font-size: 20pt"><span style="color: #3333FF">Started with a cardboard template to make sure I had a decent design and fit (would recommend taking own measurements as they may vary from car to car) .... </span></span>


<span style="font-size: 20pt"> <span style="color: #3333FF">...then had my talented friends at the fab shop make my mount (18 ga steel - I think)... </span></span>


<span style="font-size: 20pt"><span style="color: #3333FF">...dry run for fit. One of the challenges was keeping the TCS relay switch in the stock position and accomodating it behind the coil, so I designed the mount so the coil would be about an inch off of the firewall. This design also allowed me to easily bolt the coil and resistor to my new mount...</span></span>
